|
  May 58 B.C.
|  
  The Helvetii have been on the move for several months
  now, a massive migration of an entire people.
|
  Earlier this year, the tribes of the Alps torched their
  homesteads and fields, determined never to return.
  Their goal was to settle in the fertile lands of Gaul,
  which naturally alarmed the new governor of the nearby
  Roman province: Gaius Julius Caesar.
| 
  At first, the Helvetii had requested safe passage 
  through Roman territory.  Badly outnumbered, Caesar
  initially delayed, telling the Helvetic delegates to
  return in several weeks.  This gave Caesar enough time
  to send for his four legions, and to raise two more.
|
  When the Helvetic delegates returned, they were refused
  passage through the province.  This left them only one
  option: to invade the lands of Rome's Aeudian allies.
| 
  Seeking fortune and glory, Caesar moved swiftly to
  intercept the invaders in the hills near Bibracte...
